I would also suggest the same list. And in particular, if we don't
make a lot of progress on INFO and rfc4474, we have wasted our
time. Those two IMHO should cover 75% of our meeting time. Having a
bunch of 10 minute presentations, each of which is on a topic that
only three people care about, is not a good use of everyones time.
Those two topics clearly have big impact on SIP as a whole and are
of broad interest.
I don't disagree. In fact, I think you are absolutely right.
But while they are within the scope of our charter, neither INFO nor
revision of RFC 4474 is a milestone on our charter. The other things
we currently have on the agenda (except "keep") ARE milestone items.
And we're LATE on most of them!
You seem to be assuming that spending meeting time on them will make
them less late. For the most part, that's only going to be true when
there's some blocking discontent that an in-face meeting can resolve.
Most of the stuff that you are expressing frustration over isn't in
that state.
So either our charter is wrong, or we're out-of-scope in our
interests.
This is a false dichotomy, even if both statements turn out to be true.
I think, rather, that we have a lot of chartered items that just need
to finish. They may need management to make sure review happens. They
may need editors to punt them to somebody with more time. But the
majority _aren't_ cross-community controversial. The in-the-room in-
face meeting time needs to focus on things that are.
And quite often, the discussions requiring face time to resolve are
exactly the kinds of things that result in new milestones and
occasionally revised charters.
I've previously tried to charter deliverables on both items and been
shot down.
And yet, you're one of the first to complain that the WG/ IETF won't
say NO. :)
(Lest someone read more into that than I intend, I am not trying to
say no to the info or identity discussions.)
So what do you think we should do?
